Science: In the Arctic

The Arctic Circle kept its secret a fourth week. With Explorer Roald
Amundsen of Norway, and his air pilot, Lincoln Ellsworth of Manhattan,
still missing somewhere up towards the Pole (TIME, June 1 et seq.) the
Norwegian steamer Ingcrtrc, sent to rescue them, dropped anchor in a
Spitzbergen fjord. A party of aviators aboard her unlashed their two
seaplanes and waited for Amundsen's base ship, the Fram, to come back
from the icefloes with a weather report before taking off for a flight
to inspect horizons further north.

In more livable portions of the globe, conjecture on Amundsen's fate
continued.
